Eh, he knows his stuff. You don't have to like or agree with him to appreciate his insights on the political economy and international monetary systems.

It's like if Dave Cutler starts a blog series on OS dev. Most HN users are Unix users but that doesn't mean there's nothing to be gained from reading the thoughts of somebody at the top of their field.

There are thousands of economists who know their stuff, probably even more than Varoufakis, who spent the last decade doing a lot more politics not economics. (And that might be a lot more important for navigating the situation in Argentina, but then that just means there are likely even better candidates who know more about Argentina than Varoufakis.)
